ГЕКСАФЛУМУРОН

Описание

Hexaflumuron is a benzoylphenyl urea-type insecticide and is the common name for N-(((3,5- dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-ethoxy)phenyl)amino)carbonyl)-2,6-difluorobenzamide. It the active ingredient in several termite control products registered to Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. Hexaflumuron was the first active ingredient to be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a reduced-risk pesticide. A reduced-risk pesticide is one that the EPA believes has low impact on human health, low toxicity to non-target organisms, and low potential for groundwater contamination. Hexaflumuron’s mode of action is to inhibit chitin synthesis. Termites produce chitin to form or maintain an exoskeleton.
Hexaflumuron is an odorless white solid that is formulated into low-concentration solid briquettes that are contained within tamper-resistant bait stations. Formulated hexaflumuron briquettes contain about 0.5% of the active ingredient, with the balance comprised almost entirely of cellulose.
Hexaflumuron formulations have been marketed under the trade names RECRUIT® AG termite bait, SHATTER*termite bait, SENTRI*TECH, RECRUTE® Pro, Hex-Pro(TM) Termite Baiting System, Sentricon(TM) IG Termite Bait, Sentricon(TM) AG Termite Bait, Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System.

Химические свойства

White solid or powder. The commercial product may be an emulsifiable concentrate.

Использование

Hexaflumuron is an benzoylphenylurea based chitin synthesis inhibitor used against Ephestia figulilella.

Определение

ChEBI: An N-acylurea that is urea in which a hydrogen attached to one of the nitrogens is replaced by a 2,6-difluorobenzoyl group, while a hycrogen attached to the other nitorgen is replaced by a 3,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl group.

Возможный контакт

Hexaflumuron is a benzoyl urea insecti cide, termiticide and insect growth regulator (IGR) that inhi bits an insect’s growth through chitin synthesis, which termites need to form an exoskeleton. It is used to impregnate termite bait. Worldwide, there are more than 20 suppliers/ manufacturers; most are in the United States Not currently registered for agricultural use in some EU countries.

Метаболический путь

Although there is limited dormation on the metabolism of hexaflumuron in the open literature, there is a useful summary provided by Dow Agrosciences (Anon). Metabolic pathways are shown in Scheme 1.
